I call this part of my life, "Getting Busy." Because of the wind, rain, cold, and short days, I had to work fast. I had small windows of descent weather to work with, so I really had to bust it to make Big Boy come to life.
A couple of days were either rainy or windy, so I tarped off a little shelter. It was actually kinda cozy in there. Once, a newspaper reporter sat in my shelter and interviewed me while I worked.
Joan Hallmark interviewed me for "Proud of East Texas" while I worked. That was a real honor. I told her that I was scared beforehand that she was going to be mean and make me cry on TV. But, she turned out to be a real peach.
Done!! Got Big Boy all rendered out, did touch-up, packed up Ole Betsy and headed down the road. On to the next deal!
I'm so proud that I didn't spill a bucket of red paint on their nice new asphalt parking lot.
One final note. During the process, I had many tell me that the mural brought back good memories. People really love 'em some Moon Pie and RC Cola. And they made sure that I knew it was pronounced "Moon Pah n Aro Cee Cola." Now, it just doesn't get anymore American than that.
